An Israeli woman who was stabbed this afternoon at the Gush Etzion Junction on the West Bank has died of her wounds, according to the Times of Israel.

The woman, said to be in her 20s, was given emergency treatment at the scene but was declared dead after being taken to hospital in Jerusalem.

Her attacker was shot dead by security forces.

Earlier today, two other terrorist attacks on the West Bank were thwarted. A Palestinian in a taxi drove his car at a group of Israelis near the settlement of Kfar Adumim, but when he got out and tried to stab them, he was shot and killed by a civilian.

Security forces shot dead a Palestinian woman wielding a knife outside Nablus.
